Banks 1959 July 2 Journal 36 Hunts Pass, 6700 ft., Chelan Co. Wash. right, into a very wet meadow, where there were still fairly large patches of snow. There was much running water from melt, but a few more sloping areas were dry, indicating that when the snow melts it will be much drier. The elevation of this little valley is about 200 ft. higher than the pass, or about 6400, tho I have used the pass as my locality - it is perhaps 1 mi. N.E. There is no brush, except for the lower, heat-down branches of the firs and some younger firs. The grass and herbs, some flowering, are only 3-4 inches high. Collected the same area in the afternoon, but walked up to to the top of Slate Peak late in the afternoon. In the morning it was dark & cloudy, with frequent drizzle, and it snowed a little at noon. Shortly after noon the sun came out and it got quite warm, but also got very windy. As I walked up the mt. it drizzled more, & snowed a little more. All in all it was a bad day.
